Himeko: Herta Space Station! Put Down the Astral Express You're Holding! "Who Are You?" (11K)
"Gurgle! Kill me! Even if I, Silver Wolf, jump off the Herta Space Station today, I will never... It's so itchy, I will never wear these shoes to see Kafka!" Silver Wolf's stubborn little face came into Chen Li and Sparkle's eyes.
"It's not my job to clean up other people's messes. You agree, right, Kafka?" Silver Wolf said, sitting on the table after digitizing a Voidranger was about to attack Kafka and casually tossing it to another coordinate.
The Silver Wolf still came.
Ideals are lofty, but reality is harsh. No matter what Chen Li wants to do, Silver Wolf will always have work to do.
"Thank you for your hard work. By the way, where is the target location?" After carefully examining Silver Wolf and seeing that Silver Wolf was no different from usual, Kafka finally felt completely relieved.
"Continue deeper into the corridor behind the left door. There's a room containing some kind of Miraculous Item, and the Stellaron is near that room. Let's go." Silver Wolf jumped off the table, then his legs went weak.
"Silver Wolf, are you really alright?"
"It's really nothing. My legs are just a little numb from sitting here for too long. Kafka, you're too slow... help me up."
"Chen Li has a little conscience... but not much." Silver Wolf muttered to Chen Li as he stood up and led Kafka to search for the Stellaron.
Silver Wolf said Chen Li had a conscience because Chen Li was willing to provide Silver Wolf with a Miraculous Item as an aid to help Silver Wolf solve his current predicament.
The reason why Chen Li is said to have little conscience is that this predicament was brought about by Chen Li.
Left with no other choice, Silver Wolf had to choose the most useful Miraculous Item for his current situation—an Miraculous Item that could transform all excessive external sensations into pleasure.
In the end, Chen Li carried the Silver Wolf and teleported to the rendezvous point with Kafka... According to Chen Li was afraid that the Silver Wolf would be easily killed by the roadside monsters (the Voidranger of the Anti-Matter Legion).
After overcoming numerous obstacles...
"They got in so easily? Silver Wolf... Is this part of the script?" Kafka was clearly taken aback as she looked at the unprotected Stellaron before her.
"You have no idea what I've sacrificed..." Silver Wolf sighed.
Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be difficult for Silver Wolf to find the location of the Stellaron, but it would always require some means. However, Silver Wolf didn't know how Chen Li managed to do it. How could Chen Li possess the highest management authority of the Herta Space Station?
Did you smuggle it from the Herta?
"What did you sacrifice?"
"Brain cells."
"So you only used your brain cells to allow us to have an unimpeded journey to retrieve the Stellaron, and the Stellaron was completely unprotected and could be taken out at any time, right?"
"You're not a hacker, you don't understand! This is how we hackers are." Silver Wolf coughed twice.
"I see..."
"Ah!" Silver Wolf suddenly made a strange sound.
"What's wrong? Silver Wolf, you're acting really strange today." Kafka narrowed her eyes.
"N-nothing, I'll go prepare the Stellaron carrier for you!" Silver Wolf clenched his fist tightly.
Good news: The Miraculous Item of the Herta can transform all external, excessive sensations into feelings of pleasure, and the conversion rate can be adjusted.
Bad news: The remote control is in Chen Li's hands.
On the way here, Silver Wolf could still tolerate the pleasure that walking brought Silver Wolf, but just now, the pleasure surged for a moment, only to drop again very quickly.
Silver Wolf instinctively felt that it must have been Chen Li who did it, but he also felt that the possibility of it being a prank by Sparkle could not be ruled out.
Silver Wolf is a professional; even with a strange sense of pleasure, Silver Wolf can use his real-world editing skills to print out a perfect vessel without trembling.
As the vessel appeared, Kafka, holding the Stellaron, walked up to it.
"How much does she still remember?" Kafka examined the delicate yet familiar face of the gray-haired girl in front of her.
"At least I'll remember you."
"Hmm, time to get up... Star." Kafka pressed the Stellaron in her hand into the gray-haired girl's chest.
"Kaf... Ka?" The girl named Hoshi slowly woke up, looking at the mature purple-haired woman in front of her who gave her a sense of familiarity, and the unfamiliar name slipped out subconsciously.
"That's great, you still remember me." Kafka's tone rose slightly, and even though her face didn't show much expression, it was clear that she seemed to be in a good mood.
"Listen to me: Your mind is a complete mess right now. You don't know who you are, why you're here, or what you're supposed to do next. You feel like I'm familiar to you, but you're unsure whether you should trust me—"
Kafka used her Word of Power to begin soothing Hoshi's emotions.
"But none of that matters. What matters is that I'm leaving and leaving you alone on this space station. So from now on, you don't need to think about the past or doubt yourself anymore."
"Listen to me: You will encounter many dangers and find yourself in terrible predicaments, but you will also experience many wonderful things. You will have companions like family and embark on adventures you could never have dreamed of..."
"And at the end of the journey, all the mysteries that have troubled you will be solved."
"This is the future that Acheron has encountered, and the future that you will arrive at... Do you like it?"
"Kafka should go now. According to the script, the people from the Astral Express will be arriving soon," Silver Wolf urged.
Moreover, Silver Wolf felt that the conversion rate of pleasure seemed to be increasing, which seemed to indicate something?
"I understand, Silver Wolf. Alright, time is almost up, I have to go. Listen to me: someone will find you soon, go with them without worry, you don't remember anything except me..." Kafka nodded, her tone unusually hurried.
"Kaf... Kaf..."
"When you have the opportunity to make a choice, don't let yourself regret it..." After Kafka watched the star fall asleep, she turned and left.
But just as Kafka reached the door and saw the protective shield lower again, blocking her out, a strange yet young voice suddenly rang out from the room behind her.
"Patrick Star, wake up! I'm the Golden Honkai-Moe King! Let's go jellyfish hunting together!"
"Someone will find you soon, so go with them without worry... Okay!" Kafka's words still echoed in Xing's mind, so Xing made the right choice based on them!
They arrived incredibly fast! So fast!
And it turns out my full name is Patrick Star!
Let's go! Golden Honkai-Moe King! Let's go catch jellyfish!
"???" by Kafka.
And so, Kafka, separated only by a protective shield, watched helplessly as a yellowish-brown thing abducted her "child" right in front of her.
"Silver Wolf, quickly remove the protective shield," Kafka urged.
While nothing that Acheron didn't write in the script is important, this is clearly beyond the scope of the script!
"I... I can't undo it." Silver Wolf knelt on the ground, clutching his body tightly, his voice trembling.
That damned Chen Li!
They actually set the conversion rate to the highest level!
Silver Wolf dared not move, not even a little bit!
Chapter 269 Himeko: Herta Space Station! Put down the Astral Express you're holding! (11,000 words) "Who are you?"
"Since you are asking questions with such sincerity."
"Then we will mercifully tell you."
"To prevent the world from being destroyed."
"In order to maintain world peace."
"Golden Honkai-Moe King!"
Patrick Star!
"Hey, wait a minute, Dan Heng, don't you think this yellow HOMU looks familiar?" A cute pink-haired girl wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, a blue jacket, a dark blue skirt, and a small camera hanging from her belt suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Hmm, you've actually improved, March 7th. You were able to recognize it." The young man, dressed in a black robe over a light green overcoat and holding a long spear, nodded slightly.
Good progress.
It's incredible that I can retain the Remembrance of an entire morning!
"Isn't this the Golden Honkai-Moe King from Uncle Welt Yang's comics?!" March 7th said, pointing at Chen Li.
"... I'm sorry, I overestimated you." Dan Heng sighed.
Dan Heng admitted that it was his mistake to have expectations for March 7th.
"Isn't that right?" March 7th said, somewhat unconvinced.
Bright! bright! At once! yes!
"Yes and no. Mr. Welt mentioned his name this morning, have you already forgotten?"
"Oh, really?"
"Didn't Station Master Asta mention this gentleman just now? He's seat #85 in the Genius Society, Miraculous Forger. Station Master Asta said he's a genius with a very close personal relationship with Ms. Herta. Station Master Asta mentioned that he often wears the Golden Honkai-Moe King Outfit when he's on the Herta Space Station."
"What if, what if he's just an ordinary Herta Space Station clerk wearing the Golden Honkai-Moe King Outfit?"
"But Station Master Asta also said that when the Mister Miraculous Forger wears the Golden HOMU Set, he wears a crown that looks very noble at first glance, and that cannot be faked."
"That makes sense. So this eccentric HOMU is really the Genius Society member cheated me out of 50 Credits!" March 7th suddenly realized.
Chen Li had used the geniuses' accounts to send meme-level text messages several times, and on March 7th... for some reason, he got caught every time.
"...Phew..." Dan Heng fell silent.
Do you really have to bring this up in front of people?
And didn't I return those 50 Credits to you?
"I'm really sorry for cheating you out of 50 Credits, but didn't I have the Interastral Peace Corporation return the Credits to you, the Lady. March 7th?"
"Ahem, um, hello Mister Miraculous Forger." After being called out, March 7th's eyes darted around.
The title of Genius Society member is too impressive.
"You don't need to be so formal."
"Yes, right! Mister Miraculous Forger! Station Master Asta said you have Miraculous Item that can be used to find people, right? Please lend it to us! We are Nameless Guest on the Astral Express, and our member Welt Yang has suddenly disappeared before our eyes, so we really need your help! Please, please!" March 7th clasped his hands together and pleaded with Chen Li.
"Welt ..." Chen Li stroked his chin.
When Welt returned to the Honkai: Star Rail world, he didn't tell the Astral Express... Oh, he really didn't have time to tell them.
That's alright then.
However, Welt never mentioned the Astral Express...
But considering that Welt had been wandering around for many years and suddenly met Tesla, it's understandable that he might have forgotten about it.
What's more, he also has to deal with his past as an idol.
"The Mister Miraculous Forger also knows Mr. Welt, right? I heard your name mentioned by Mr. Welt a few days ago— Chen Li. I wonder..."
"That is indeed my real name, and I do know Welt. I can lend you the Miraculous Item for finding people."
"Real?"
"Really. But I have a request."
"What do you mean, that's right? Don't even mention one, even 100 would be fine!" March 7th said excitedly.
"Okay, then 100 will do."
"Oh, this..."
"Just kidding, one is enough. You guys take her back." Chen Li pointed to Xing next to him.
"How did you know we were tasked by Station Master Asta to find the Herta Space Station crew? Sure, no problem."
"She is not a staff member of the Herta Space Station."
"Then this child is...?"
"Her name is Xing. I saw that no one wanted her, so I just picked her up."
"..." Kafka, who was hiding in the distance and peeking over, listened silently to Chen Li's conversation. Her expression was practically as if she had a handkerchief in her mouth.
What do you mean by picking up someone who no one else wanted?
You were clearly waiting there on purpose, weren't you?!
"Wait, isn't my name Patrick Star?" Star asked, raising his hand.
Are you sure?
"Uh, no, I'm not sure." Xing became a little insecure again after Chen Li said that.
